Chapter 316: Finally! (Fixed)
"Silver Matrix Thunderbolt bombs could kill Early Demonic warriors, and could severely injure Mid Demonic warriors. Although I have thrown out four bombs all at once, the distance was too long, the enemy might survive this. We should still be careful." said Xietien with a serious face. The last four bombs were used up, if the enemy survived, they could only fight against him by risking their life.
Streams of Energy poured out of Xietien's body once again, obviously, he was preparing for a deadly fight.
The three fiery light rings behind Lara's head grew even brighter, as she fiercely gazed at that silver lightning sphere.
Tyrion had already unified his Energy and soul power, preparing to make the 'Heaven Synergy' move. He believed that under the explosive power of four bombs, the enemy would certainly be severely injured, and as long as the enemy was wounded, his 'Heaven Synergy' move could definitely worsen that wound. If they were lucky, he might even be able to kill the enemy directly.
Pop!
The silver lightning sphere suddenly broke, showing the silhouette of the Spectral Sentinel. His body was entirely burned, no colour of skin could be seen on his face now. Wisps of smoke rose from the bigger wounds, spreading out along with the scent of grilled meat.
"Bastards! I will make you regret this!!" the Spectral Sentinel slightly moved his body, but he seemed to have choked on his own blood that was about to spurt out from his throat. The blood surging out of his body was immediately evaporated by the remaining lightning power, so he only coughed out a mouthful of white smoke.
He raised his head and stared at the three young genetic fighter with a pair of devil-like, blood-red eyes.
Tyrion made his move first. He swung his blade and released a thick streak of thunder blade, which struck the Spectral Sentinel's body. However, that strike only left a bone-deep wound on that man's body, and failed to go any further.
From under the Spectral Sentinel's skin, a layer of bloody light could be seen pulsing which blocked Tyrion's strike.
The attack launched right after Tyrion's was Lara's [Devil-Slaughtering Punch]. Waves of eye-piercing golden light flashed across the air and clashed against that blood-red light, letting out muffled sizzling sounds.
"Ethereal Purple Veil, Overlord Monument Suppression!"
That bridge-like, enormous stream of Ethereal Purple Veil rushed back into Xietien's body. After that, Xietien burst out with a loud roar and crossed his fingers, throwing a heavy punch in the air directed towards that Spectral Sentinel.
At the exact same moment, the bright shining purple mountain roared down from the air, it seemed to be capable of shattering the layer of blood-red light and smashing that Spectral Sentinel into nothing.
Boom!
But, the purple mountain was shattered instead.
The Spectral Sentinel's skin began cracking, and the blood light darted out from those cracks. It was thick and dense like lava streams that gushed out of the ground. Flushed by those streams of blood-red light, the purple mountain immediately broke into a few pieces, and then turned into pure Dust.
Boom!
This thunderous boom didn't come from the broken monument, instead, it came from the mountain itself. Signs of breaking had already shown up after that area had been blasted by those four bombs. And just now, the same area was once again struck by the sharp energy arc, fist power and the purple mountain continuously, so it finally collapsed.
Along with the Spectral Sentinel, a small part of the mountaintop fell down, and soon disappeared.
In the next moment, sky-shaking, thunderous booms suddenly rang out. Along with them, the entire mountain toppled towards one side. Obviously, the Spectral Sentinel detonated himself in the air, collapsing the entire mountain, how powerful was that!
Tyrion, Lara and Xietien instantly leapt into the air. Fortunately, all three of them were able to fly for a short while. Looking down from the air, they saw that the mountain had completely collapsed while airwaves rushed around fiercely in a random manner. Countless gigantic rocks completely buried the Spectral Sentinel, and piled up into a small hill.
"So close. I didn't think he could use the Blood Devil Disassemble Magic, created by the Blood Devil himself." said Xietien as he let out a long sigh of relief. It was only luck that had helped them survive this.
"The Blood Devil? Was he also one of the True Harbinger Evil Cult's one hundred and eight Greater Spectral Warriors?" asked Tyrion.
"He indeed was. The Blood Devil was ranked higher than the Spectral Sovereign among the one hundred and eight. Fifty years ago, he was a Supernal of the Evil Blood Martial School, he then betrayed the Evil Blood Martial School and joined the True Harbinger Evil Cult. He was extremely powerful, and came to be known as the Blood Devil."
Tyrion didn't even want to imagine how powerful the True Harbinger Evil Cult used to be. Each of the one hundred and eight Greater Spectral Warriors were already insanely powerful, and above them, those higher level commanders must have been even more terrifying. But, no one knew how many of them had died and how many had survived.
As for those who had managed to survive, no one had any idea whether they were planning to raise again like the Spectral Sovereign or not.
"Retreat!"
The Spectral Sentinel leader saw that the Spectral Sentinel had been smashed by the collapsed mountain, he realised that he could not harm this couple of Death Gate Academy's people in their current situation. Therefore, he threw another punch towards the Ninth elder and his beast phantom reciprocated the action as he gave out the order to retreat.
Woosh! Woosh!
The remaining two Spectral Sentinels were both elite warriors. Even though they failed to defeat the Ninth elder and the Instructor Xphane, they could still run away pretty easily. Within a single moment, they had already moved miles away.
The Instructor Xphane intended to chase them, but he was stopped by the Ninth elder.
"Don't go. They can't do anything to us at this moment, besides, we can't kill them anyway."
"Damn! Such a refreshing fight! These two should be top-grade Spectral Sentinels, am I right?" The Instructor Xphane had passionately fought for quite a while, and now his blood was still boiling. It seemed like he could immediately take part in another great fight.
"After eighth August, you can have as many fights as you want. I'm just afraid that you would be sick of battles by then."
"Never!"
While talking, they rushed towards Tyrion and the other two students.
Seeing that all three of them were safe, the Ninth elder sighed in relief. He nodded and said, "Good, since you have all survived such a difficult fight, after we get back you will certainly see improvements with a little bit of work."
"Ninth elder, what is this about? Is the Spectrala planning on launching attacks on all top-ranked institutions?"
"Not yet." responded the Ninth elder, "I assume that right now they're only trying to weaken us. However, I can't be sure about how long this situation would last. Maybe in a year or two, the Spectral Sovereign will recover to his peak level and that will be the time when a great war starts."
"A year or two? So quick!" Xietien frowned and said.
"Don't worry too much," said the Instructor Xphane with a grin, "Even if the war starts, we won't be alone. The Righteous academy alliance is much more anxious than us. Besides, we don't have to be afraid of them even if they are stronger than before. After all, all the top-ranked institution have Grand Elders behind them.
Once these institutions fall into a deadly crisis, those Grand Elders will make their move."
Grand Elders!
Tyrion's eyes popped out. Judging from the Instructor Xphane's tone, these Grand Elders sounded even more powerful than the leader himself, could they be True Fiendgod fighter? No wonder the Spectral Sovereign did not dare to directly attack the few top-ranked institutions, and had instead been perfectly hiding all along, he should probably be afraid of their combined attack.
"We can't stay her for long, let's first find a place to stay, we will wait for the school to send us another Sky-piercer."
As he was speaking, the storage ring on the Ninth elder's finger sparkled, and right after that, a large plane appeared before him. Although it wasn't as good as the previous Sky Cruiser, it was still manageable. The five people entered into the plane and left.
…
These five people temporarily settled down in a city, thousands of miles away from the collapsed mountain. Three days later, people from the Death Gate Academy arrived. Not just one or two people, a whole batch of inner elders on four Sky-piercers and arrived at the place they stayed.
Hopping inside of the plane, all of them headed back to the Death Gate Academy right that night.
